3 New Permuted Releases: RISE, PLAGUESVILLE, & INFECTION!

RISE by Gareth Wood

Within hours of succumbing to a plague, millions of dead rise to attack the living.

Brian
Williams flees the city with his sister Sarah, literally just ahead of
the undead horde. Their post-apocalyptic journey begins with refuge in
the mountains, then takes them across a destroyed nation. Although
banded with other survivors, the group remains desperately outnumbered
and under-armed. With no food and little fuel, they must fight their way
to safety.

RISE is the story of the extreme measures a family will take to survive a trek across a country gone mad.

The
global outbreak of a new strain of virus wiped out over 99% of the
population. The lone hope rests on the slim, unready shoulders of Dr.
Justin Kaes and a small team of specialists from the Center for Disease
Control. The researchers have discovered a cure for the plague in the
blood of a cantankerous 102 year old. But there’s one minor problem: the
old man couldn’t care less whether humanity lives or dies. And he most
certainly doesn’t feel like going on a road trip to sunny California.

On
the way to the coast lie murderous tribes, cults, voracious animals,
and the toxic remains of civilization. They face a world gone backwards,
technology and industry reduced to rusting garbage. Their mission seems
doomed… But there are a few decent souls still out there, citizens of
Plaguesville, USA.

“Imagine FALLOUT mixed with DOOMSDAY and
MAD MAX but with the violence, intrigue, and horror on overdrive; boil
it down and you have the best apocalyptic novel ever.” --Eloise J. Knapp, author of The Undead Situation

Anchorage,
Alaska: gateway to serene wilderness of The Last Frontier. No stranger
to struggle, the city on the edge of the world is about to become even
more isolated.

When a plague strikes, Anchorage becomes a deadly
trap for its citizens. The only two land routes out of the city are cut,
forcing people to fight or die as the infection spreads.

Danny
and Jules, just children, witness the beginning stages of the
pestilence. Neil watches helplessly from his office cubicle as Midtown
is ravaged. Dr. Caldwell attempts to flee the madness of Providence
Hospital, the epicenter of the outbreak. The lives and survival of these
few become intertwined in the aftermath of the onslaught. Coming
together as strangers, they begin to form stronger bonds--even as hope
slips away and they realize there may be no rescue coming.
